Indulge in Sweet & Nutty Carrot Cake Pancakes

Today’s Unique Creation: Nutty Carrot Cake Pancakes

Hello, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share with you a recipe I created on a crisp autumn morning when I was craving something sweet and comforting: Nutty Carrot Cake Pancakes. These pancakes are a delightful twist on a classic carrot cake, perfect for a cozy weekend breakfast or brunch.

To start, gather the following ingredients: shredded carrots (150g), chopped walnuts (50g), all-purpose flour (200g), baking powder (1 tsp), cinnamon (1 tsp), nutmeg (1/2 tsp), brown sugar (50g), milk (250ml), eggs (2), and butter (50g). For the delicious cream cheese glaze, you’ll need cream cheese (100g), powdered sugar (50g), and a splash of vanilla extract.

You’ll also need the following kitchen tools:

• mixing bowl
• whisk
• grater
• skillet
• spatula

Start by combining the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and brown sugar in a mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and melted butter. Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Fold in the shredded carrots and chopped walnuts.

Heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown.

While the pancakes are cooking, make the cream cheese glaze by beating the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle over the warm pancakes before serving.

Once all the pancakes are cooked and drizzled with the delicious glaze, it’s time to enjoy! This recipe makes approximately 8 pancakes, with each serving weighing around 100g. One serving of Nutty Carrot Cake Pancakes is approximately 250 calories.

A unique tip for this recipe is to toast the chopped walnuts before adding them to the batter. This will enhance their nutty flavor and add a nice crunch to the pancakes.

I hope you give these Nutty Carrot Cake Pancakes a try and put your own twist on them! Feel free to add raisins, coconut, or even a sprinkle of powdered sugar on top. Happy cooking!
